Employee Self Service (ESS) and Payroll Transition

Culver City Unified School District is transitioning to the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) Human Capital Management (HCM) system. This transition introduces a new Employee Self Service (ESS) portal and changes to payroll processing, paystubs, deductions, and extra-duty payments.

1. Employee Self Service (ESS) Launch

Launch Date: October 12, 2026

Beginning October 12, 2026, LACOE will begin sending login credentials to all employees. Employees will use the new ESS portal to access and manage their personal and employment information online.

For assistance logging in to ESS or requesting a password reset, please contact [email protected].

ESS Portal

What Can I Do in ESS?

• View and Print Paystubs: Access your paystubs electronically without contacting HR or Payroll.

• Review Sick and Vacation Balances: View accrued sick and vacation time reflected on your paystubs.

• Access W-2 Forms: View and download W-2 forms electronically. Additional instructions will be provided before the end of the calendar year.

• Review Employee Information: View personal and employment details, including your name, address, job information, salary, and emergency contacts.

2. Changes to Paystubs and Pay Distribution

With the transition to HCM, employees will notice changes to how pay information is accessed and how payments are distributed.

Paper Paystubs

Employees who receive their pay through direct deposit will no longer receive a paper copy of their paystub. Paystubs will be available electronically through ESS.

Supplemental Payments

Employees who receive direct deposit will no longer receive supplemental payments as live checks. These payments will be processed using the applicable payment method under the new system.

Employees who do not have direct deposit set up will continue to receive live checks.
